Key Takeaways
- Marine technology product revenue was approximately $5.6 million in fiscal Q2 2027, with aftermarket activity contributing about 87% of the total.
- Gross profit was approximately $2.1 million, representing a 37% gross margin. Management said low revenue reduced fixed-cost absorption despite the typically higher margins of aftermarket sales.
- MIND Technology reported a net loss of approximately $1.7 million, compared with net income of $1.9 million in fiscal Q2 2026. Adjusted EBITDA swung to a loss of approximately $949,000 from positive $3.1 million.
- Firm backlog fell to approximately $4.8 million as of July 31, 2026, from $7.6 million on April 30, 2026, and $12.8 million a year earlier.
- Management expects fiscal 2027 results to be below fiscal 2026 and said weak order conversion will likely pressure performance for another quarter or two.
- The company ended the quarter with $15.8 million in cash, $36.7 million in working capital and no debt. Its potential-order pipeline remained several times larger than firm backlog, including projects worth $10 million or more each.
